Meta Platforms plans to cut metaverse investment by up to 30% and redirect funds to AI and AR glasses development. The company, which rebranded from Facebook in 2021, initially invested billions in VR technology. Shares surged 3.4% amidst the announcement. The move reflects a strategic shift as the tech industry evolves, with a growing focus on AI and a decrease in interest in virtual worlds.
